Overview
If you own a VPS and would like to create your own dedicated server for the game, follow this guide.
Initial Steps
This guide was made for people who would like to host Barotrauma on a VPS. Normally you would do this via SteamCMD, however, there is a bug that states your Steam is not authenticated.
1. You must download the Steam client on your VPS.
2. Proceed to input your login details and log in as usual.
3. You must download Barotrauma from your library.
4. Go to the folder where Barotrauma is installed and launch DedicatedServer.exe
5. Close the dedicated server and open serverconfig.xml
6. Configure your server appropriately.
7. Make sure your ports are forwarded for 27015-27016
8. Launch DedicatedServer.exe
9. Use ‘clientlist’ and ‘giverank’ to give yourself admin.
